Is Torturing Babies For Fun Really Wrong?

Many atheists and agnostics attack Christianity on the basis that God is really evil. They assert this even though they don’t believe in God or the Bible. They don’t believe in objective morality either. Here is a super short video (2 minutes) from Dr. Frank Turek refuting this lie.

Atheism cannot account for an objective moral standard, they have no way to ground their morality. Materialism i.e. Ontological Reductionism cannot say why torturing babies for fun is wrong objectively. In this worldview, all they can say is that they don’t like it since it ends up being just the atheist opinion against the torturers opinion.

I’m quite happy to have a morality that changes and gets better. Now, let’s look at your god’s morality per the bible stories about this god. We have a god that punishes people for the actions of others. How is this justice or fairness? We have a god that commands the genocide of people repeatedly, including children. We have a god that takes war booty in the form of girls who have not had sex yet, generally young girls, as sex slaves. We have a god that works intentionally with Satan to corrupt Christians after every non-Christian has been murdered. We have a god that says slavery is fine, including forcing a man to remain a slave to remain with his family. We have a god who is so jealous and petty that this god commands that families murder heir own members if they do not worship this god.

Now, hopefully you would find such actions by a human reprehensible. The fact that you don’t find them reprehensible when done by your god means you have a subjective morality dependent on what a being is, not the inherent goodness or badness of an action. All you have is a might equals right morality. Each Christian invents a god in their own image that agrees with that person’s personal morality since they all think this god approves of different things. None of you can show that your version is any better than the next.

And I can say that torturing anyone is wrong because I don’t want to be tortured myself, and I don’t like hurting people. My empathy and humanity are all I need to not want to harm people.
